The Celtics are the in-form team in the league at the moment, currently on a 12-game winning streak.

Their latest victory came against the Toronto Raptors despite the absence of Kyrie Irving, who will return to action tonight wearing a mask after suffering a facial fracture against the Charlotte Hornets.

Both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have impressed in increased roles with the former not expected to be a starter at the beginning of the season.

And Al Horford has returned to his All-Star form to lead the team as the most experienced player.

Brooklyn meanwhile have improved from last year, largely in part to the summer acquisition of D’Angelo Russell who is averaging 20.9 points per game.
